Public Hearing on Adoption of Tsunami Warning Signals
A rescheduled public hearing to adopt a uniform tsunami warning siren will be held December 8 in Tillamook from 6-8 pm at the Tillamook 911 Center, 2311 Third Street.

Under the direction of Oregon Emergency Management (OEM), a team of specialists has reviewed existing research and best practices on tsunami warning systems and decided on a uniform state standard that provides the necessary consistency to reduce potential conflicts and confusion.

"The objective of the tsunami statutes and implementing rules is to reduce the risk of loss of life," said Althea Turner, Tsunami and Earthquake specialist at OEM.
